The action in Joe Gage's videos usually takes place on a 'realistic' set, but the single set of "Barnstorm" goes for something different--a 'symbolic' assemblage of wooden slats, meant to represent the interior of a dilapidated barn, with artificial back-lighting in lurid colors (think Fassbinder's 'Querelle') that changes from yellow to red to blue as the action progresses and the sun supposedly goes down. Only the crickets on the soundtrack establish a believable rural setting. At least at the beginning, there's some kind of story line about how Allan Silver is there filming videos to document (for insurance purposes, I guess) damage from a recent storm, but all that gets discarded pretty quickly and in fact the video turns into something that, aside from the particular visual appearance of the set, closely resembles Joe's 'Closed Set' videos, i.e., all sex, complete with naked men walking around holding video cameras and filming each other going at it, just as in those other videos. Emphasis on men in their late twenties to early thirties (except for daddy Allan Silver) and on big cocks getting lovingly handled and sucked and eventually going into holes. Everybody's naked almost all the time, including some nice bare feet. Some of the guys are familiar to Gage fans (Dean Flynn, Allen Silver, Patrick O'Connor, Andrew Justice) but this was Bo Matthews' only Gage film--a sweet ginger-boy, smooth and pale, with a ripped body, nice long feet, and big, beautiful 3-D nipples that are apparently quite sensitive, since the minute somebody squeezes on one of them he shoots all over the place. A couple of other brief episodes of nipple-play, too--not usually a feature of Joe's videos--but generally speaking it's your standard sex. Some nice water sports in the Director's Cut, which is maybe why the scene from "Sex Files 3" is missing on that version, to make room for it, but you still get the two clips from "Campus Pizza," one of which is worth the price of admission all by itself (see my review of "Campus Pizza"). All in all, if you like to watch good-looking guys with big dicks having it off with each other, you'll like this film. And if you don't, then what, for goodness sake, are you doing on this website??
